I bought a 2X and 0.5X Opteka Lens from 47st.photo and my results with a Fuji Finepix 3800 were very disgusting. I could get better quality pictures with a disposable camera with a magnifying glass in front of it - (ok I'm exaggerating, but; they were awful)
To tell you the truth, I took two pictures, one with the lens, one without, and even zoomed in on the picture that I did not use the lens with the quality is still better; so therefore, digital zoom is better than this lens. If you want closer up pictures, (i dont know how many megapixels your camera gets) - just use digital zoom or crop your pictures on your computer, because the lens would not be worth buying even if it was free.
Hope this bad news didn't find you in the same situation as me
This answer is not fool proof; I don't know how the lenses act with different cameras, but with the Fuji FinePix 3800, it is worthless!
